![]() Above the television, Wu has framed a couple pictures of his family.Īpple finally activates HomePod Mini’s hidden temperature/humidity sensor Above the shelving, Wu mounted a 24-inch Samsung LED television to watch 24-hour news channels. To the right of the pillar, Wu displays the boxes from all the Apple products that he’s purchased over the years such as iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs and an AirPort Express. ![]() On the desk, Wu has positioned his iMac, Apple TV and printer in addition to a cute iClock. In order to recreate the Fetzer Maple Wood tables in an Apple store, Wu had a replica designed for the office in addition to adding working drawers. The LCD display usually runs through family photos in the screensaver and Wu occasionally uses the Apple TV to play music when he’s working. In addition, Wu installed a LCD panel into the pillar that displays a high definition feed from one of his Apple TVs. The most eye-catching element within the home office is the black pillar that stretches from floor to ceiling and incorporates the glowing, white Apple logo. I will NEVER again opt for a dedicated bedside alarm clock and plan to take my Clocks app-powered IPad with me on travel so I don’t have to deal with the hotel alarm clock.Described in a post on an Apple fan’s personal blog, the product designer David Wu redesigned his personal study by using design elements that would be found in a typical Apple retail location. Thanks to the Clocks app I now utilize my IPad every day of the week whether it’s waking me up or I just need to know the time. In fact, both bedside alarm clocks that I’ve tolerated over the years as “good enough” solutions when the powers not interrupted have been decommissioned in favor of the far more capable Clocks app-powered IPad. This app with its daily programming capability, selection of displays, selection of alarm sounds, and the ability to adjust the intensity over a broad range completely outclasses the standard one dimensional alarm clock. I considered my IPad for that solution and found it in the Clocks app. But a recent series of scheduled power outages that rendered my dedicated bedside alarm clock the equivalent of a door stop, I sought a more intelligent solution. I had my IPad for a decade but hardly had reason to opt for it over my laptop or phone (i.e., it didn’t get much use). I recommend it to anyone with an iPhone, old or new, who wants to get rid of a clunky old alarm clock that takes up way too much space on their bedside table (mine is in landscape mode and taking up minimal space sitting on a business card holder), and/or who travels and doesn’t want to pack a travel clock or depend on hotel wake up calls. Other than those two things, the app is the best of any of the other clock apps I have tried, including the Apple clock app. My suggestion is that your app have a FAQ section, and include a customer service contact form, so that one does not have to go through the Review section to ask a customer service-related question (like my question above). ![]() ![]() So why are two devices showing two different times? My question is that the two devices I have that are set on your app are showing two different times-one is five minutes slower than the other! One would think the app is set to the Atomic Clock, so would simultaneously display the same time on all devices. I love the choice of clock faces, the alarm choices, and all the other settings options available.īut I just have a question and a suggestion. I love this clock, and have been using it as my alarm clock plus the clock in my living room, on old iPhones, for years. I would just make sure you completely close out the app each day when you’re done rather than let it hang out in the background to fix the occasional error. I also use it in meetings where I need to have the time visible. I would recommend this app for anyone looking for a bedside clock/alarm clock. If I close out the app and reopen it, it comes back to life and works like normal. It illuminates like it is and has the snooze option or turn off option, just no actual alarm. Also, there have been times where it randomly does not go off. The only downside is that the alarm only goes for two minutes and, if you are a heavy sleeper, may not wake you up. This clock stays on all night, gives me five alarm options and allows me to choose the music I want to wake to. The built-in iPhone clock times out and there are times where I need to be able to see what time it is. The reason I got it was because I wanted a clock on my phone that would stay on all night. First of all, for such a small app, it does a lot that I needed to do.
